Because a rectangle is clearly not representative of the one true faith.
Its not a war memorial, its a cross, and its on public land. Nobody I know of wants to remove the memorial portion. I too have not that much interest in its removal, except for the vociferous objections of those that want to keep it, namely Christians.
The sooner the defenders of the cross own up to their true motives, the sooner we can have a more civil discussion of the place of religious symbols in public life.
Mostly I veer away from the more inflamatory subjects ie immigration politics. Not this time. I wonder why? At the base of my soul I really don’t care whether a cross sits on Soledad. I do care that those wanting to defend it have been so disingenuous about it.
